Chapter 640: Wrath of the Gods——Legion of Gods

Li Yu was somewhat surprised. Although the description sounded very lofty, mentioning Information State and mimicry.

But in reality, it was just sticking pins in a straw doll.

Simply put, the other party made a straw doll carved with his name, and then destroying the straw doll could also cause him harm.

This so-called Third Forerunner was actually a rare curse Esper.

The current Li Yu naturally couldn't be completely ignorant of this kind of Superpower.

Even because Horus had identified the special condition on his body as a Curse, Li Yu had specifically looked into it deeply.

The System's explanation for a Curse was altering the target's Information State.

The Information State was the "label" of every object existing in the universe, and this label constantly announced its existence to the universe. Under normal circumstances, this label was basically unalterable.

And a Curse was roughly equivalent to altering the label on your body, for example, changing it to "a rock".

Or changing it to "dead", then at the cosmic level, you were already dead.

Even if you yourself didn't want to die, Cosmic Space would try every possible means to correct the bug of you still being alive.

Information State, in essence, was a means of using Cosmic Rules to attack enemies.

This already involved an extremely high level of civilization standards in the universe.

The Titan Civilization could turn an object into an ethereal Information State and directly store it in the universe.

Then wait for certain conditions to be met, and then let it materialize again.

This had already reached a high-level application of Information State.

As for something like an Information State Transmission Channel, it was relatively simpler. It was nothing more than modifying partial spatial Information State to let it enter a connected state at the cosmic level.

Under normal circumstances, if a civilization wanted to reach this level, it would take an extremely long time.

However, awakening a Superpower only depended on probability. Just like manipulating time and space, as long as you were lucky enough, it was fine.

If you really had to slowly climb the Technology tree, who knows how long it would take.

Having transmigrated for so long, this was Li Yu's first time seeing an attack method utilizing Curses.

No wonder the other party could accurately lock onto their position. They probably used the Curse Mimic of Loyd's subordinate.

But directly altering "labels" wasn't without a price. The backlash from Cosmic Rules wasn't something everyone could withstand.

Moreover, the higher the life tier, the greater its inherent Information State Intensity. Similar to Time Intensity, altering it would also become increasingly troublesome.

It was precisely because of this that it was basically very hard to see a curse Esper grow to full power, because they would have already been killed by the backlash of Cosmic Rules when they were weak.

Yet the method of this Third Forerunner was even more brilliant. He didn't directly alter the Information State, but rather constructed a mimic.

He only needed to simply link the mimic and the main body, and then use physical means to attack the mimic, thereby avoiding most of the rule backlash.

"It's passable, but if this is all, it's too disappointing." The Third Forerunner seemed to turn serious.

The fact that Li Yu could destroy his probing methods wasn't surprising; after all, his Combat Power Level had also reached the A5 Level.

"I heard within the organization long ago that the Other-Dimensional Camp forcibly divided us into one entity with two factions, and even made the Star Glory Empire believe this situation." The Third Forerunner slowly clenched his hand.

"I'd like to see if you really have the qualifications for this!"

After speaking, he abruptly closed his hand, just like before.

What did he say? The Other-Dimensional Camp and the Forerunners being two sides of the same coin is fake, deliberately shaped by the Other-Dimensional Camp?

Loyd didn't expect to actually hear this kind of news. Under these circumstances, there was no need for the Third Forerunner to lie.

How many things are hidden in this...Loyd's mind was in turmoil.

Li Yu's heart contracted abruptly, suddenly sensing an invisible force surging towards him. This piece of the universe seemed to be rejecting him, wanting to completely crush him.

This crushing force was all-encompassing. Every Cell in his body seemed to bear unimaginable power and was about to completely shatter.

The Reality Stone on the [Infinity Gauntlet] flickered with faint light, and red aether particles flowed throughout his body. To a certain extent, the Reality Stone could also alter Information State.

The Third Forerunner frowned slightly. This time his hand couldn't completely close; his fingers remained bent, as if some force was stopping him.

And the golden mimic within it was covered in a layer of red radiance. He could sense that the mimic he constructed seemed about to dissipate.

A red gemstone that alters Information State?

This thought flashed through his mind, and a trace of blazing light passed through his eyes.

"Interesting..."

Subsequently, from within the White Long Robe covering his entire body, another arm extended, and its palm covered the other palm.

The two palms wrapped around Li Yu's mimic, and then squeezed inward fiercely.

In an instant, Li Yu's eye sockets bulged violently. The suddenly increased massive force made it almost unbearable for him.

However, thick bolts of Thunder erupted from the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor], and the exterior of the Armor also underwent slight changes, becoming more ancient.

In an instant, Thunder surged, and blinding Lightning Glow filled everyone's vision.

Crackling!

Faint blue Electric Arc burst out from the Third Forerunner's palms. His two palms bounced apart as if out of control, and the Curse Mimic existing in the center also collapsed into specks of Luminescence.

"It's actually really you!?"

His tone carried some astonishment as he stared intently at the changing [Symbiotic Colonization Armor].

The surging Thunder on its surface was enough for him to be certain that this thing was inextricably linked to the Thunder Battle Armor.

"Hmph, I knew it. You did all this." Loyd snorted coldly.

"Sigh, I originally wanted to keep hiding it, but I didn't expect to be exposed by everyone," Li Yu panted heavily, grinning.

And Marc, who had been standing silently behind the Third Forerunner, suddenly widened his eyes at this moment.

Li Yu admitted it. Wiping out the Parska Base, snatching the Thunder Battle Armor, destroying the Titan Ruins... was it really him?

It wasn't Loyd putting up a stubborn resistance and deliberately passing the buck?

Wait... if Li Yu is the true culprit behind the destruction of the Parska Base, then someone inside the Forerunners really betrayed them.

This also means that the reason the Third Forerunner was certain the destruction of the Parska branch Base had nothing to do with the Bados Civilization was because that was the truth all along.

And I acted like an idiot, out of inner fear, delivering myself to his door, and instead becoming Li Yu's puppet.

Motherfucker!

What kind of bullshit is this!

That damn Bastard, at the time he even patted his chest and guaranteed he absolutely wouldn't implicate the Bados Civilization.

Damn it, he was the one who did it, so of course he knew the Bados Civilization wouldn't be implicated.

And the stupid Forerunners, acting all high and mighty, refusing to leak any news to him. Otherwise, why would he have sought out Li Yu out of inner fear?

Marc cursed wildly in his heart, wishing he could chop all these guys in front of him into a million pieces.

Unfortunately, he didn't even dare to show this emotion.

Because the destruction of the Parska branch Base might not have had anything to do with him, but now he had truly and solidly betrayed the Forerunners.

If this matter leaked out, the trouble would be just as big.

"Worthy of being the Third Forerunner. This is my first time tasting the Curse attack method. The gap between you and me is indeed a bit large," Li Yu sighed with feeling.

The Third Forerunner was a powerful lifeform on the level of the Forerunners' foundation.

This guy alone could sweep across the vast majority of interstellar civilizations.

The existence of the Curse Mimic even allowed him to extinguish enemies without showing his face.

It was very normal to have a gap with such a person currently.

"You know?" The Third Forerunner's tone sank. Because the organization had spent a massive amount of time deducing the Curse Mimic for him.

Under normal circumstances, it was very hard to associate it with a curse Superpower, but the other party pointed it out in one sentence.

So it's a Curse.Loyd silently noted down this information.

"It doesn't matter. Since you know the gap between you and me is very large, is there a need to put up a futile struggle?" The Third Forerunner had many doubts now.

But he believed that as long as he captured the other party, all of this would be answered.

Golden Flowing Light condensed in his hand again. He seemed to want to construct a mimic again, but how could Li Yu give him this chance?

He spread his hands, and strands of faint light dissipated from his left palm.

"I admit, I can't beat you, so I decided to... call for backup."

[Wrath of the Gods] activated, target locked——Third Forerunner!

"Come forth, Legion of Gods!"

Immediately, the Third Forerunner scanned his surroundings, seemingly finding nothing unusual.

The surrounding warships reported immediately that the blockades at various levels within this Cosmic Space hadn't suffered any damage.

Loyd was even more alarmed and doubtful.

What does he mean?

Are there other people from the Other-Dimensional Camp nearby?

No way, could this also be Li Yu's setup?

Just as he was about to speak, his gaze suddenly tightened.

A Long Sword suddenly shot towards the back right of the Third Forerunner. Before it could get close to him, it was directly sent flying by Marc.

The brilliant silver-white Long Sword had fine Magic Runes on it. After being deflected, it seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and began to return in a certain direction.

Everyone looked over. At some point, a patch of Rainbow Radiance suddenly appeared in this Cosmic Space. Then a figure riding a White Sky-Horses flew out and caught the Long Sword.

Where did this horse come from?Everyone was completely baffled.

Looking closely, riding the White Sky-Horses was a lithe and agile female.

Her exterior resembled an interstellar human, wearing ancient Armor, emitting surging Energy Radiance all over her body. Her life tier wasn't low.

The White Sky-Horses she rode was pure white as snow, its wingspan reaching three meters.

"What's with this radiance?" The Third Forerunner demanded over the comm channel.

"Lord Forerunner, the Spatial Coefficient nearby hasn't changed at all, nor have we detected any Information State fluctuations. This radiance seems as if..." The person reporting seemed somewhat fearful, answering tremblingly:

"As if it was already here to begin with."

Already here to begin with?

The Third Forerunner felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity in his heart. How could such a large patch of Rainbow Radiance have already been here to begin with?

"Kill!"

Just then, a cold shout seemed to echo in everyone's minds.

From the Rainbow Radiance, a massive number of White Sky-Horses subsequently leaped out. A rough estimate put them at no less than tens of thousands, a mighty and awe-inspiring force.

At the same time, the surrounding Pioneer Fleet had already prepared to attack.

Overwhelming energy beams, like a howling meteor shower, locked onto these female warriors riding White Sky-Horses.

However, these female warriors, seemingly ordinary, were all Valkyries who had experienced many battles.

They leaned forward on horseback and raised the shields in their hands, forming a Magic Shield to block the energy beam attacks.

While the White Sky-Horses beneath them didn't flap their wings frequently, their movement speed was extremely fast, quickly approaching the Pioneer Fleet.

The leading Valkyrie's eyes were sharp. Her heart held no fear or other emotions, only that white figure, which was their target.

Anyone who blocked them from unleashing the wrath of the gods would be ruthlessly killed by them!

Wielding the silver Long Sword, the Magic Runes on it flashed, and the nearby Forerunner warships seemed to be violently struck by a gale.

A severe formation disruption occurred, and three warships collided with each other, turning into a pile of twisted metal debris.

The ejected Escape Pods were directly smashed by the abnormally high-speed Sky-Horses, and all this happened within a lightning-fast dozen or so seconds.

She was obviously the most powerful Valkyrie, but the other Valkyries were not inferior. The Sky-Horses, which were many times smaller than warships, gave them an agile combat posture.

Because a massive number of them had already charged into the Pioneer Fleet's formation, it made it very difficult for these warships to fully exert their effectiveness.

The weapons in their hands collided with the warship Protective Shields multiple times, achieving a Focused Attack on a Broad Front. Quite a few Valkyries had even charged inside the energy shields, wantonly destroying the warships.

However, many Single-Unit Ship-Breaking Squads had already rushed out and engaged the Valkyries.

Heavy black Armor clashed with pure white Sky-Horses, sparks flying everywhere. Energy Radiance erupted from time to time, forming a magnificent and murderously tense picture.

"A single-unit combat Legion? It looks very much like the Holy Vias Civilization's knight Legion, but their attack methods resemble the Divine Fighter from The Council's side." Loyd stared at this suddenly appearing Valkyrie Legion, his eyes flickering.

If they relied solely on this Legion, it would obviously be very hard to impact the current situation.

He placed his gaze on that patch of colored radiance, his eyes filled with a peculiar emotion.
